This guy is amazing. And JFC, that landlord was really trying to pre-file an eviction.

The best part is literally everything the OP is saying is right. I hate how adversarial small time landlords often are against their tenants (not that big ones are any better, but having a face to face just makes it hurt worse)
You probably could have picked a different city than Dallas, as Dallas actually has a decently large financial sector. It has historically been a pretty big part of the financial industry of the Southwest US buoyed by the Federal Reserve presense and within the last few years has had some massive growth by many big banking and finance groups. Its the second biggest financial area behind NY in the US.

"The industry’s rapid Texas expansion since the onset of the pandemic means the area now has more finance workers than Chicago or Los Angeles, trailing only New York."

Quotting from the article: """Asylum seekers should only have to hand over their electronic data carriers if their identity, nationality or travel route cannot be established on the basis of identity documents or in any other way. According to the rules, SEM must first carry out a proportionality check for each individual case. The law does not provide for the compulsory handing over of a data carrier."""
Of course. But that's ugly and hard to follow compared to the C implementation I linked (at least, in my opinion).

And int128 support isn't ubiquitous.
We don't need landlords to be better people. We need functioning institutions and laws to protect both parties in the lease. More importantly we need a massive increase in the supply of housing. Whatever I guess. It's a fun game trying to manipulate people on the internet I bet.

I built AOSP from source. It's supposed to be devoid of any google specific requirements. I went out of my way to block as many google servers as I could in the hosts file just to ensure it wasn't phoning home.

As far as I can tell the only issue I ran into was that despite being connected to a working wireless access point, the device reported I had no internet. It still worked, but it seems for the purposes of the status bar icon, and whatever other underlying system code, it was using a google server to verify internet was working.

>> If you need Copilot to code in Python, have you really learned Python?

> Does it really matter though? It sounds awfully like when a school teacher said you're not going to have an calculator in your pocket.

Yes. A younger me had teachers say that to me, and that younger me thought they were wrong.

But it turns out they were right, and younger me was wrong. Calculator dependence created a ceiling built from "educational debt" that many years later severely limited my mathematical ability.

The problem is focusing too much on getting the "answer," and losing sight of building the abilities that allow you to get there with your own mind. Eventually the need to manipulate your automated crutch turns into a bottleneck.
I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this person is just giving them good advice on how to run a business.

It's important to note that these devices are not self-destructing nor are they cloud-dependent and will still perform their primary function as a locally controlled touchscreen thermostat. It is the remote control via app features that are being disabled.

It is similar to how the original iPhone and iPad are basically unusable with no connectivity in today's world (think: these legacy thermostats may not support modern security protocols due to lack of power to perform the cryptographic functions, or software support in the > 16 year old microcontroller. Let's assume hardware was designed with chips in production a few years before the release so we're talking 2005-era hardware. This is pre-iPhone, George Bush was still president and you had a flip phone in your pocket. Should they never upgrade their backend security so they can support these things in perpetuity?) Sadly, I suspect if this was an Apple(r)(tm) Thermostat the HN crowd would be banding together in their defense.
It generates things that you get to look up citations for. It doesn't care if its output converges, it does what it wants differently every time.
I would honestly think it doesn't matter. Students, like professionals, should be given the world and all of it's resources to generate a solution. If I can just punch the question into AI and get a valid answer then maybe the question should be modified.
I don't know what kind of computer weenies you know but speaking for myself: needing to interact with someone to get exercise would add a major hurdle for me. OTOH, I'm really getting in to minmaxing myself in Garmin...
Yes, we do. The legal system always has friction, and I wouldn't want to rent from someone who I know is an asshole and expect to lean on the legal system, even if I had all of the protections in the world. The best scenario is always people behaving well.
NGL as someone who jumped ship from the gas camp to induction, Induction is really incredible just how much better it is.

Everything about it is better with the exception of an annoying buzz from the induction on occasion.

- My carbon steel pans get to temp basically instantly.

- My cast iron gets to temp in a fraction of the time it took on my gas stove.

- It also works fantastically on my stainless steel pots and tbh it feels like I can get a pot of water to boil in half the time.

- Cleaning induction surfaces is way easier.

- For "specialty stuff" like woks, curved induction is so much cheaper, more convenient, safer, and more approachable than the equivalent gas setups.

This isn't me trying to suggest anyone should be forced to give up gas. It definitely has it's uses. However I really have to recommend trying out a nice, modern induction setup. They are like fucking magic.
Thank you for your hard work. You've spent way more time on the problem than I. Didn't realize it was rhetorical! Mostly I wanna see homophobic encryption happen in practice. :p
I've never had a choice until very recently when we redid the kitchen in our first owned house. Went with induction. It's really great, best of both worlds. We got one with proper knobs rather than the stupid touch controls many hobs have.

If you knew the tenant was not going to pay, wouldn’t you get the paperwork ready to be filed as soon as possible? It’s not a charity.

And the net outcome of having to deal with paying $1K to get the tenant to move out means that the next tenant will likely see a higher security deposit to cover that eventuality.

If an efficient legal system can’t be relied on to quickly move out non-paying tenants, costs are going to rise to compensate. There’s no free rent.
This is usually what it comes down to. You need to create action items and timebox them, then act. Adhering to those actions takes energy and discipline.
I want an explicit operation that gives the upper and lower half of the result separately. This is ugly, but like:

It isn't necessarily intrinsically supported on all platforms: int128 is not part of the original standard. Sometimes long long is the same width as long.

I can only think it stems from fear of the unknown, leading people to believe in the worst-case scenarios.

But the way I look at it is: no matter how good AI gets, for AI to do something, someone must train it, instruct it, or ask it to do something for them, and then verify the results. All of which takes work from people. I mean even the mere instruction of saying "hey AI, do my taxes for me" takes work from me as I had to muster the very instruction, and there's no getting around this. So there will always be software developers regardless of however good AI gets. We may stop calling such people software developers, but I don't see why that matters.

Now, as whether we need less software developers because of efficiency gains? Unlikely to happen, because jobs are created from demand, and humans capacity for demanding things is endless, so the capacity for jobs is endless. This is the reason why the Jevons paradox happens. But in the case that we do in fact need less software developers, it still doesn't matter, because all it does is free up the time to do another job, just like a dishwasher does...

Oh and as an additional comment: Propulsion Engineers are a niche, specialized branch of mechanical engineers. They are the ones who usually design engines.

The writer probably was referring to the fact that he was just a regular mechanical engineer and not a Propulsion Engineer.
There’s nothing thing wrong with that approach if you’re working with jsonpaths on the regular. It’s all about time management, I guess. With json, and xml, and probably yaml, there is this recurring long-term pattern of:

1. Creat tree-structure document format that is flexible enough to handle all use cases.

2. Write a ton of content in this format.

3. Have to figure out a query pattern to accurately retrieve good info out of these structures.

Generally, I feel we’ve become good at querying normalized table data. But—-and maybe it’s just me being stupid—-wending through tree-structured data is still tricky. And I recently discovered LLMs are great at solving for it, if you ask clearly.
This was one of my experiences with Uber versus some other ride hailing apps. The Uber app seemed to understand the airport and would help guide me towards a pickup zone and help me relay to the driver what pickup zone I was going to be at, while at least last time I used them other ride hailing apps tended to just try and show wherever I was at the time.

having gone through small claims court with my clients before, I wish there was a way or a practice of pre-filing with every invoice.

its really shitty to have to wait for an invoice to go unpaid, for a very long time, and then file with the court, and then have your court date pushed out a couple times, and then win the case, and then go to the sheriff to try to collect

I would definitely like to remove a few months from that process.

I get the sentiment, but its a UX issue that can be improved, not really the parties involved.
When bemoaning how landlords are awful, it's worth considering why they ended up that way. I don't think most tenants (who are 95% OK) understand how bad the worst 5%, and how much time and energy landlords have to dedicate to dealing with the worst tenants. It's a class of person you just don't have to deal with in your day-to-day life.

It's not the 80/20 rule, it's the 95/5 rule.
That seems to presume the murder conspiracy theory. But if the conspiracy theory is effective in silencing whistleblowers then the murder is unnecessary. But if the murder didn’t happen the conspiracy theory is false then there was no reason for whistleblowers to be silent for fear of being killed. So this speculation in the absence of evidence serves the interest of corrupt corporations by undermining the confidence of whistleblowers.
> and that can actually be the most effective way for them

A lot of it is just a general lack of learning material for that demographic. For most languages, you get to choose between an introductory text that assumes you've never even heard of a "pointer" or an advanced text that is meant as a reference for an experienced developer of the language.

There's not really a lot of stuff out there to teach someone who already knows another language, who just wants to know the syntax and common idioms in that language. For example, a C programmer can easily pick up Python, learn some syntax, and go nuts -- but they just won't know about stuff like list comprehensions or dataclasses unless someone points it out. They'll write Python code that reads like C, not like Python.
That analogy seems more in line with the risk of gas leaks and explosions.

The subject here is more that in addition to that, every time you use the pool, you have to gobbel down a bit of posion water. But in addition to that, you depend on using that thing almost daily.
It's also an important offset against the cost of moving.

Obviously norms in different places will vary.

We have not moved a lot as a business, but when we have it's been -expensive-. Leaving aside the cost of actual movers (reasonably low) it costs money to prepare a new office for us.

Granted, we place a premium on employee comfort, so we spend a bit on kitchens etc, but also networking, furniture, the offices themselves and so on.

Then there's down-time for the move itself (packing, moving, unpacking.)

And "rent overlap". Once construction starts we're effectively renting 2 offices, the old one and the new one. In cases where serious work was done this can span 2 to 3 months.

So we've always negotiated "rent free" starter months. This mitigates (some of) the extra expenses incurred. In some cases this translates as discounts for the first year or whatever.
"written in rust" is a red flag for me. Even if it is better, the fact that the most important feature to advertise is "written in rust" instead of "supports wayland" or something, tells me the developer's priorities are out of whack.
This looks like hard work, but based on this article well done to the author for putting in the effort.

> Landlords won’t listen to tenants. In the same way that Republicans won’t seriously engage with Democrats and vice versa.

As presented, this interaction looks like a completely standard negotiation where both sides get something they want. It is a little unusual in that one side is being represented pro-bono by a neutral party, but stranger things happen.

So although I agree that landlords wouldn't listen to tenants in these circumstances, it'd be interesting to explore how much this is underselling this "Luke" fellow simply having good negotiation skills. If a landlord is presented with a choice of losing $1,000 or $3,000 and everyone is reasonably polite I suspect a vast majority would choose $1,000.
Or for more collective ownership of property, and cheaper transfers of ownership. Moving is already hard. Then we tack on loan origination fees, title insurance, broker fees. That's before anything is spent on actually inspecting the property.

Otherwise it's been with in-person conversations and I didn't record them, there's a spectrum to how completely they suggest I allow AI.

Everything else you said I more or less agree with. Obviously if someone wants to cheat they're going to do it, but I feel that until we restructure the job market to not take GPAs as seriously (which I think I'd probably be onboard with), we should at least have cursory efforts to try and minimize cheating. I'm not saying we have to have Fort Knox, just basic deterrence.

I'm not an adjunct anymore, partly because I took stuff way too personally and it was kind of depressing me, partly because it was time consuming without much pay, but largely because I realized that most universities are kind of a racket (particularly the textbook corporations are a special kind of evil).

If you always defer to a computer then you never learn to disagree with the computer, you become just as much of an automaton as it.

I love LLMs for coding but only because I have the experience to instantly evaluate every suggestion and discard a double-digit percentage of them. If an inexperienced programmer uses Copilot they aren’t going to have the confidence to disagree and it will stunt their development.

> We don't need landlords

Fixed that for you. As the radical leftist Adam Smith himself pointed out:

"[Landlords] are the only one of the three orders whose revenue costs them neither labour nor care, but comes to them, as it were, of its own accord, and independent of any plan or project of their own. That indolence, which is the natural effect of the ease and security of their situation, renders them too often, not only ignorant, but incapable of that application of mind"
Plus manipulation works the other way too. Not hard to manipulate everyone to jack up rent. And there are thousand ways to do it.
Better laws and institutions for when parties aren't decent people would be good.

But, decency is always going to be better than good adjudication when people aren't decent.

Of course, systems that make it easier and safer for people to be decent would be good, towards that end.
What stops a country or ISP from using this to censor computers that aren't theirs?
We need landlords to be people, period. Local people, who gained the property through other business means and have decided to make a little bit of extra profit while providing a necessary service to the community. Ideally, they would live in one of the units with the tenants.

My landlord lives in the “best” unit of the apartment. It makes the experience so much better, and a kind of mini-community develops.

Faceless corps becoming landlords and using professional management companies is part of the problem.

Nice. Looking forward to more of those security training and unskippable tests every few months.
While many of these groups self-select for people like that, it's still pretty shocking to see the contempt, disgust, and even outright hate directed at tenants on a whole.

Edit: Downvotes from spiteful landlords? And no, I'm not referring to the online fake landlord trolls: I'm taking about local associations.

> (not that big ones are any better, but having a face to face just makes it hurt worse)

In my experience, big landlords really are objectively better. They are inflexible and bureaucratic, but generally fair and follow the law. Some small landlords will outright break the law and force you to deal with them legally. But some small landlords are great and a lot more flexible than a corporate landlord can be. If I ever were to rent again, I'd prefer big corporate landlords. Just my experience of course.

The professional companies at least usually know and abide by the relevant laws. They have lawyers and risk management teams that make them.

It’s usually the small time landlords who end up deciding they can keep your security deposit because you didn’t renovate the kitchen, or if they want to let their brother in law stay there they can kick you out with no notice or whatnot.
